- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Step 1
Preheat oven to 425°F.

Layer ½ lemon slices and 1 sprig of rosemary on the bottom of a baking dish. Scatter ½ of garlic around the pan.
Step 3
Season both sides of chicken with salt and pepper. Lay chicken on top of lemon rosemary bed.
Step 4
Place remaining lemon slices on top of chicken breasts. Place rosemary sprig between the chicken breasts. Sprinkle with remaining garlic. Drizzle chicken breasts with olive oil.

Bake for 40-60 minutes until chicken is cooked through (1 pound takes about 40-45 minutes, 5 pounds takes 60 minutes). Cover with aluminum foil for 5 minutes and let the chicken rest.
You can sear the chicken in a pan before you bake it if you'd like a little sear on it.
